Bubble and Squeak Slice

Tisme's Note:

Another Dairy Australia find from from cookbook. So easy and I did substitute some of the vegetables, which worked so well with cleaning out my vegetable drawer in the fridge, but I am posting the recipe as written. Served with relish this makes a wonderful snack or side dish. This is perfect for lunches the next day as well.

This is a great recipe! I saute the veggies in olive oil. Also added some left over ham and roasted pumpkin. Sprinkle some cheese and feta over the top as well. Served for dinner with salad. Next day had it for lunch with grilled chicken. What a great way how to clean your vegetable drawer in the fridge! Love it! Thank you Tisme it's a keeper for us!

Tisme, this is fantastic :) I actually did use the veggies from the recipe, the only changes I made were not to worry about reduced fat, sorry about that, ;), so I expect the calorie count went up a bit!!! I did use a favourite soft crumbly feta, and I used cream rather than milk. This recipe produces a really good crustless quiche/savoury tart/slice, whatever you call it in your part of the world, very good texture and density, light but holds together well, buckets of flavour. We had it hot with little roast potatoes and mashed pumpkin, DH then enjoyed it cold with salad for his lunch, this is a keeper and a new favourite, since we all like crustless quiche, its always a popular supper choice. Thank you Tisme, excellent, made for Oz/NZ Reunion Please Make My Recipe Tag Game, November 2011

LOVED this - added to the permanent rotation! Made as written, but added some spice for a 'lil kick and served with a light salad. I can see all the possibilities of adjusting with whatever veggies you have on hand, too. Thanks so much for a great recipe!!
